Protecting the innocent, one investigation at a time
Discovery Services Investigations (DSI) is a reputable investigation firm specializing in criminal defense investigations. Since 1993, DSI has been providing reliable and thorough investigative services to attorneys and their clients throughout Massachusetts. Founded by Keith L. Walker, a certified criminal defense investigator, DSI has built a solid reputation for delivering high-quality investigative services that help attorneys build strong cases for their clients.
Criminal Defense Investigations
At DSI, we understand that the stakes are high when it comes to criminal defense investigations. Our investigations are focused on protecting the innocent from wrongful punishment and finding mitigating factors that reduce the charges. We are thorough, creative, and tireless in our pursuit of the truth and the facts that our clients need to build a strong defense. We find witnesses that the police haven't talked to, and uncover facts that they haven't found by looking in places they haven't looked.
Reasonable doubt is the foundation of any criminal defense case. We demonstrate officers' shortcuts and errors, impeach the testimony of witnesses, and showcase inconsistencies in witness statements. Our investigations are admissible in any court in Massachusetts, from the Berkshires to Cape Cod, and in any district or superior court.
Interviews and Statements
DSI has over 25 years of experience conducting interviews and taking written and recorded statements. We have taken statements for nearly every type of criminal defense case, including insurance and SIU claims. Our signed and recorded statements "lock" in a witness's testimony and ensure that all relevant lines of inquiry are thoroughly addressed. Thoroughness in preparation is essential because you may only get one chance for an important interview.
Background Checks
Background checks are critical to building a strong criminal defense case. Our background checks reveal a victim's reputation and character, and the reputation of significant witnesses. We uncover information that can impeach the testimony of an adverse witness or assure that your best witnesses won't be impeached. Our background checks provide you with the information you need to get the best outcome for your client.
Locates and Skip-Tracing
Discovery Services Investigations has had great success locating witnesses and other parties, even those who prefer not to be found. Our resources extend from social media and the web to newspapers, municipal records, and a proprietary database available only to licensed investigators and law enforcement. Our 30-year career has allowed us to amass a list of resources that help locate just about anyone.
Miscellaneous Trial Preparation and Litigation Support
At DSI, we provide trial preparation and litigation support, serving as a "second pair of eyes" to ensure that nothing is missed. Our pre-sentence investigations can help your client get probation if convicted. We can conduct insurance defense investigations for insurance or SIU matters, accident scene investigations and analysis, surveillance, document retrieval, and more.
